“The goal is to make cars so expensive that the masses are force back to the city-gulag where they are more easily controlled.”
A Honda Civic with the sensing package costs $23,000.
It can follow a curving road and prevent a collision between the car and a pedestrian (or another car).
$23K is not an expensive car.
To you.
Inflation calculator:
What cost $24,000 in 2015 would cost $3891.90 in 1970.
I would say cars have doubled in cost.
In 1970 my dad paid cash for a 1970 Ford Maverick it cost $2,300 with taxes. Yeah that is $14,183.31 in 2015 dollars.
So a Civic and a Maverick are pretty much the same economy type car. Except the Civic is $10,000 more than the Maverick in 2015 dollars.
